Vinyl Siding Washing by the Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning Service in Northbrook, IL.

Vinyl Siding is durable and versatile, but it does require routine care and cleaning, says the Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Northbrook, IL., Dialamaidusa. Vinyl siding has been the leading exterior in the US since 1995. It’s popularity shows no sign of waning. In 2011 33% of new single family homes sold in the US were vinyl sided.

However, vinyl siding can accumulate lots of dirt, grime, and stains, due to things like pollen, vird and insect droppings, spider webs and rust, says the Premier Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Northbrook, IL., Dialamaidusa. In moist areas, mold and mildew can grow and attach itself to vinyl siding. Vinyl is also vulnerable to discoloring effects from insecticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.

According to the vinyl siding institute, the best way to clean is to use a soft cloth or an  ordinary long-handled soft bristle brush. To avoid streaking, start at the bottom and work up towards the top of the house. Always rinse away any residue as you go up.

Some good vinyl siding solution cleansers are the following:

  1. 70% water and 30% white vinegar, is an all purpose vinyl siding cleaner that removes light mold and mildew stains.
  2. For a stronger solution, mix 1/3 cup powdered laundry detergent, 2/3 cup powdered household cleaner, 1 quart liquid bleach and 1 gallon water in a bucket.
  3. Simple green is an environmentally friendly cleanser that is formulated for vinyl siding. The non-toxic biodegradable concentrate can be used manually or with a pressure washer.

Cleaning vinyl siding is easier with a pressure washer. However, always be sure that the stream is at eye level and pointed straight at the siding, not an upward angle. That way, water won’t get behind the siding. Be careful when using a pressure washer around windows and doors, says the Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Northbrook, IL., Dialamaidusa.

Avoid using any vinyl siding cleansers that contain organic solvents, liquid grease removers, undiluted liquid chlorine bleach, nail polish removers, or furniture polish or cleaners. Any of these products might damage the vinyl siding’s surface, says the Foremost Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Northbrook, IL., Dialamaidusa.

All of the above recommendations are from Bob Vila.
